    You don't need to spoof IP addresses. Creating fake chrome profiles would seem to be enough to create separate sessions that you could have different refresh limits on

    Really? Interesting. I hadnt thought to try that. Im sure ive had other devices locked out before when using the same IP tho.

    The key to an effective bot in this instance would be the ability to spin up / spoof different IP addresses to create multiple sessions without hitting the block. Im a decent coder but that is beyond me.

    What defines ‘middle class?’ 

    A lot of folk over 40, including many who’ve enjoyed going to Glastonbury for years and  regardless of where they started out in life, will have made themselves a decent career, paid off their mortgages, and have a lot more disposable income than others, especially younger folk just starting out.

    Now they could have started out with nothing, properly working class, worked hard for where they are now, and continue to work to do the things they enjoy… Does that make them middle class?

    On earnings alone, they will be, but then on that basis, only 19% of the UK fall into working class (earning under £23k) with the vast majority, 67%, being middle class. If you judge people on this ‘official’ basis alone then of course the majority of people at the fest are middle class, and I’m pretty sure more of you are technically middle class than you realised!!! 

    ‘Middle class’ covers a lot more honest, average working folk / families than some of you seem to think. And I’d be willing to bet, most of the people on this forum earn more than £23k. 

    So when you criticise the increased middle class element at the festival, are you really criticising the normal working folk who make up the lower half of the 67% majority, or are you really talking about the upper middle classes, and upper classes??? 

     

    Where did you get the definition of working class as earning under 23k?

    Average income is £31,400 (last year) - https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/personalandhouseholdfinances/incomeandwealth/bulletins/householddisposableincomeandinequality/financialyearending2021/pdf#:~:text=Median household disposable income in,(ONS) Household Finances Survey.

    Defining class by income is a bit of a fools errand. I know plumbers (traditional working class, blue collar job) who take home 6 figures doing manual work, what class are they?

     Me too, i have absolutely never seen that name, heard it, their music, anything. And theyve got five or six albums out ffs! i'm VERY out of touch, you'll find me in shangri-la desperately trying to find a DJ to play some Motley Crue 😆

    Im jealous you get to find them for the first time. Inflo (the main guy from Sault) is a genius. (Produced Adele, Lil Sims and The Kooks).

    haha yes. I was just reading the weather thread and had water in mind. Thought someone was going safe and getting something to counter possible flood disasters.
    Now I'll make myself another coffee...

    Don't forget sandbags, and a small kayak.

    Back in the day there used to be masses of free firewood and campfires everywhere. The wood still gets delivered pre festival and is usually the bark covered offcuts, eight feet long from local sawmills. They are grabbed by crew and used for building stuff. In recent years there never seems to be enough so it tends to disappear before ticket holders arrive. A bit of a shame as I used to love the fires and sight and smell of woodsmoke gently drifting across the site, especially just predawn. 

    Same here, it really adds to the atmosphere for me... i wonder if the firewood stall will be back this year. 
    Are you selling your Swedish torches again this year @Sawdusty surfer?

    Morning all, 

    So usually we would pick some some firewood from the stall by the other stage for a fire back at our camp (nothing quite like getting back from a long day / night of partying and chilling in front of a nice fire with a few joints). However in 2019 the stall wasn't there, and we couldn't find any of the free firewood either. Does anyone know if this is by design? Are the festival not allowing camp fires anymore?

    We will happily bring our own firewood if needed but would rather buy on site for ease of transport. 

    Anyone have any insights? 

    Thanks

    Anyone got experience of o2 on-site? I’m getting rid of Three this week and reluctant to go to ee just for the festival 

    Three was perfect for me in 2019, had no issues at all.

    Without reading back (lazy I know) can anyone tell me what it's like to get in the queue Tuesday evening & queue through the night?

    I've never had to / never will do it myself but I genuinely can't think of anything worse than getting a broken sleep in the cold and then wrecking myself so I can't enjoy the Wednesday.

    Is there seriously camping spots worth doing that to yourself for?!

    We do it every year... it's when the festival starts for us. Few cans in the queue, joint or two, excitement building, try grab a couple of hours kip (wear warm clothes or just bring your sleeping bag and a camping chair)... cant wait.
